During any type of tournament it can be observed that some guys will break the grip only to be able to fight in straps. This is a common technique all over the world. It would seems fighting in straps is very easy, but it’s not. There are many deciding factors to fighting in straps, physical, genetic, and all have to be worked on separately and individually, by sparring only. Depending on your arm and wrist strength, there are many ways of using straps. I myself have encountered many ways and each of them works to some extent. Let’s see how Lubomir Jagneak, many times European and World Champion, fights in straps. Lubomir usually uses hook, he has a very strong wrist, bicep and side pressure. Fighters like that tend to attack first and not break up. But when the break-up happens, Lubomir has his tricks to get a good start and use all his tricks.
